Losing Sleep
Freeweights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The simplest thing's impossible and what's more
It's so hot so you can't think
So moist you only sink
And your bed swallows you whole
It's like I told you this before
Indifferent to you and you're ready to ignore
Light that loves you
It shoots me down
When you're lifted up
We hit another wall
Oh
I'm losing sleep
And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect
Respect that wall
Oh
I'm losing sleep
And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect
Respect that wall
My eyes are bright, but lies just for lies
I can't go on with this lie anymore
You never seem to know
What's been going on
Even when I'm waking up so slow
Even when I'm waking up so slow
I'm losing sleep
And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect
Respect that wall
Oh
I'm losing sleep
And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect
Respect that wall
Oh
I'm losing sleep
Against my will
I need to find what keeps me going on
You never seem to know
What's been going on
Even when I'm waking up so slow
Even when I'm waking up so slow
So so slow
The lyrics of Freeweights' song "Losing Sleep" portrays a sense of distress and conflict. The lines "Light was my friend but not anymore" suggests a feeling of loneliness and isolation, as if the singer's support system has failed. The lines "The simplest thing's impossible and what's more, it's so hot so you can't think, so moist you only sink" paints a vivid picture of the emotional and physical turmoil the singer is going through. It's as if the heat is suffocating them, stopping them from thinking clearly, trapping them in their thoughts, unable to escape the overwhelming feeling. The phrase "And your bed swallows you whole" shows how the singer feels consumed by their emotions and struggles.
In the second verse, the lyrics "My eyes are bright, but lies just for lies, I can't go on with this lie anymore" reveal that the singer is possibly keeping secrets or hiding their true feelings, pretending everything is okay when, in reality, they are struggling. The lines "Even when I'm waking up so slow" suggest that they may be going through depression or a state of numbness, where they can't even seem to wake up from their sadness. It's as if the singer is reaching out for help and support but is met with indifference and neglect. The lines "And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect, respect that wall" indicates that they are looking for someone to understand them, but it's not happening, leading to a significant loss of sleep.

Light was my friend but not anymore
Things used to be easy for me, but now they're not
The simplest thing's impossible and what's more
Even basic tasks are difficult for me
It's so hot so you can't think
The heat is overwhelming and affecting my ability to concentrate
So moist you only sink
It's so humid that I feel weighed down and unable to move
And your bed swallows you whole
I feel consumed by my bed and unable to escape it
It's like I told you this before
I'm frustrated because I feel like I've shared these struggles before
Indifferent to you and you're ready to ignore
No one seems to understand or care about my problems
Light that loves you
The things that used to bring me joy now make me feel worse
It shoots me down
This change is painful for me
When you're lifted up
Others seem to be thriving while I'm struggling
We hit another wall
I've encountered yet another obstacle to overcome
I'm losing sleep
My problems are keeping me up at night
And then I crash in someone who doesn't respect
I turn to someone for support, but they don't understand or empathize with me
Respect that wall
I need others to recognize the difficulty of my situation and support me through it
My eyes are bright, but lies just for lies
I'm putting on a façade of positivity when in reality I'm struggling
I can't go on with this lie anymore
I can't keep pretending that everything is okay
You never seem to know
Others don't seem aware of the full extent of my struggles
What's been going on
The challenges and difficulties I've been facing recently
Even when I'm waking up so slow
Even when I'm trying my best, I still find it hard to get going in the morning
Against my will
I'm struggling even though I don't want to
I need to find what keeps me going on
I'm searching for something to motivate and inspire me to keep pushing through
So so slow
My progress and recovery are taking longer than I would like

I wish Meg Ryan would have left her face alone. She was such a beautiful pixie. Morgan Fairchild on the other hand is still gorgeous last time I checked. Morgan either made a pact with the Devil, is blessed by God, or has a much better plastic surgeon than Meg. Regardless, pairing both of these ladies in their prime to this great 80s retro inspired song was a solid choice!

Actually, Meg looks pretty good for someone who was mauled by a lion as a kid.

Vaya, Morgan Fairchild una mujer llena de belleza, me atrevo a decir que es la mujer rubia norteamericana mas hermosa que he visto en mi vida.
Well, Morgan Fairchild, a woman full of beauty, I dare say she's the most beautiful American blond woman I've ever seen.
